Question

A team consists of engineers and doctor in the ratio od 2:5. If there are 24 engineers,find the number of doctors. If there are 45 doctors find the number of engineers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Given:

Ratio of number of engineers and doctors in the team =2:5

(i) If there are 18 engineers,

Number of doctors =

2

18×5

=45 doctors

(ii) If there are 65 doctors,

Number of doctors =

5

65×2

=26 engineers

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that,

A team consist of engineers and doctors in the ratio 2:5.

Case (i) : Finding the number of doctors :

If we assume :

➪ No. of engineers → $2x$

➪ No. of doctors → $5x$

Given,

$\implies 2x = 24$

Solving for $x$ :

$\implies x = 24$

$\implies x = \dfrac{24}{2}$

$\therefore x = 12$

Since, We have assumed $5x$ as the number of doctors

Therefore, No. of doctors will be :

➪ $5x = {\bf{\green{60}}}$

Case (ii) : Finding the no. of engineers :

➪ No. of doctors we have = $5x$ (assuming)

But, no. of doctors are 45 (given)

So we can say that,

$\implies 5x = 45$

Solving for $x$ :

$\implies x = \dfrac{45}{5}$

$\implies x = 9$

∴ The number of engineers will be :

$\implies 2x = {\bf{\green{18}}}$
